Tony
DiGerolamo’s The Travelers is now published by Kenzer & Company (Knights
of the Dinner Table) rather than his own SJRP imprint and I’m happy to say
there hasn’t been any decline in quality. A bonus for new readers is the
inside front cover which introduces the main characters of the series.

This issue finds our heroes meeting with
representatives from the Nipponese Empire who are searching for the remains of a
flying ship that crashed near Beastleyville some 20 years earlier. Of course,
there’s bound to be something nefarious afoot and Locust, the court wizard,
and his friends are smack dab in the middle of things. Romance, ninjas, Marco
Polo, a mystic scroll, demons and a flying carpet combine to make this issue the
perfect jumping on point for new readers.

Tony DiGerolamo describes The Travelers as
“Dungeons and Dragons meets the Three Stooges.” I would change the Three
Stooges to the Marx Brothers but you get the idea. Suffice it to say The
Travelers will make you grin and giggle as you read it. There’s no
pretense at seriousness within the pages and the result is a comic that deserves
to be on more subscription lists in comic shops.

Brian S. Dawson’s art is as good as ever and
his characters imbue the story with just the right amount of slapstick without
being overly exaggerated.
